I reckon there's lots of different classes or styles of Hipsters.
The common Hipster, also known as the Brunswick, or Hetro Hipster. They live a house in Brunswick (The Hipster suburb of Melbourne), with their GF, and they have free-ranged chickens in the backyard.
(Thomas and Ella from "Please Like Me". Watch it, it's a really good TV series).
The vegan hipster. Are very cute and gay. They make sure it's known they're a vegan, and also wear Sea Shepard t-shirts to show how much they care for the environment and animals and shit.
The bogan hipster. They drive a Holden VY Commodore SS, and drink normie brand craft beer (Little Creatures, Furphy, Pirate Life...). They're a bogan, and know it, but they also want to feel indie, different and in-charge.

Then there's the Coffee/Beer enthusiast hipster. They go to all the hipster cafes and bars, and all they talk about is good coffee and good independent craft beer. They do this because they want attention, because they feel like they don't have much redeeming features apart from that.

I'm surprised that people don't GTO or Vauxhall-swap Monaros.
I know a lot of people do their VF Commodores with Chevy badges (don't worry, people Holden-swap their Chevy SS's over here and they also flash the infotainment system to the Holden one if they aren't lazy) and badge swap their G8s with Holden badges.

Monaros are fairly rare. Like the people who bought them were enthusiasts. You're forgetting sports sedans are very much a thing in Australia, so they make little sense. Also Vauxhall is far from a prestigious brand. (I once saw a 90's Holden Barina/Suzuki Swift with an Opal badge swap. Like lol).
I really don't understand why people badge swap commodores. Like the only reason why they bought a Commodore is because of the brand. The people who bought Commodores or Falcons aren't flocking out to buy another fun rear-wheel drive car like a Kia Stinger, they're instead buying something else, or aren't buying new.

I know Australia has a performance sedan market. America's market is too far up its ass with shitty turbo 4-banger crossovers that literally look the same to get anything decent.
As for badge swapping, it's because "iT's CoOl". Like people who badge swap their fucking Mazda Protege with the Familia badges.
